I thought I might solve the problem by stepping up to XFree 4.1XX and I installed the rpms from rpmfind.net (after failing miserably with the binaries from xfree.org). Close but no cigar. I was elated when XF86 -configure actually correctly identified the card and even located its PCI address (which didn't happen in my current version). But when I tried starting up X... black screen and complete lock-up. It may be that I didn't setup the RPMS correctly (this is my third day of exposure to Linux...) and maybe some of the other people who have similar Radeon problems will have better luck with that as a solution--if you do, let me know how you did it. In the meantime, I need to get past this problem and do some work. I don't want to scrap the card (it works great in Windows). If I buy an inexpensive generic SVGA card, is it possible to configure Linux for 2 cards and just "ignore" the Radeon for now until Red Hat comes up with a patch ? Thanks for any suggestions The Radeon 64 VIVO works for me quite well. Is your card a Radeon VE? Please send the output of "lspci -v" and also "lspci -vn". Still waiting for info. Closing bug due to lack of interest and feedback from original submitter. Radeon VIVO 64 AGP DDR works well for me on a VIA board with K6300, an SMP Tyan Thunder w/2x 1Ghz, and a 1Ghz Athlon with a VIA chipset with updated Flash ROM. Note, this is using XFree86 4.1.0-0.9.10 |
